- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The principles are progressive economics, though the illustrations and anecdotes are dated. Mr. Bernstein is relentless in his common sense approach to economic policy analysis and explaining the importance of economics to all our lives.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5An inside look at a liberal economist's view of the nature of the American economy up to and including the housing and debt crises of 2008.
